With Intel's $16.7B acquisition of Altera and the deployment of FPGAs in major cloud service providers including Microsoft and Amazon, we are entering a new era of customized computing.

In future architectures and systems, it is anticipated that there will be a sea of heterogeneous accelerators customized for important application domains, such as machine learning and personalized healthcare, to provide better performance and energy-efficiency.

Many research problems are still open, such as how to efficiently integrate accelerators into future chips and commodity datacenters, and how to program such accelerator-rich architectures and systems.

In this talk, I will first give a quick overview of my research on accelerator-rich architectures and systems, which spans from application drivers to underlying computer architectures.

Finally, he has received several awards, including a best paper nominee of HPCA 2017, a best paper award of MEMSYS 2017, a postdoc fellowship from UCLA, a best demo award at the C-FAR center annual review.
